For the first time, the Convention and
Visitors Bureau of Riviera Nayarit will participate in the Virtuoso Travel
Week, the most important event for the high-end travel segment

In Riviera Nayarit
our luxury is captivating. A total of 1,766 agents and owners of the most
sophisticated travel agencies in the world have registered for the Virtuoso
Travel Week, and will be enchanted by Mexico’s Pacific Treasure when it makes
its debut as a Virtuoso Preferred Destination.

This year, the Virtuoso Travel Week will take place at the
Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas on August 11 to 17, representing the most important
event for the high-end segment of the travel industry, as it includes only the
most exclusive services around the world.

In Riviera Nayarit, the St Regis Punta Mita, the Four Seasons
Punta Mita and Imanta Resort have attained the coveted Virtuoso Preferred
award, and will introduce Mexico’s Pacific Treasure as one of the most
sophisticated destinations worldwide.

As a result, the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) of
Riviera Nayarit will have the opportunity to present its luxurious travel
experience for the first time in the Virtuoso Travel Week. There are
approximately 350 one-to-one appointments scheduled with Virtuoso travel
agents.

“We are confident that Virtuoso agents will be captivated by
the magic of Riviera Nayarit, because luxury in our destination consists not
only of our properties, but it’s the magical experiences that we offer, like
watching Huichol rituals on the beach, doing yoga and surfing, or finding
yourself next to a whale and her calf while paddling on our calm waters. We’ll present
these experiences through a video during our one-to-one appointments, and we’re
sure that these will be unique feature in the event”, said Marc Murphy,
Managing Director of the OVC.

Additionally, new products, destinations and Virtuoso agents
will be presented in the Opening Dinner, and we’re expecting that Riviera
Nayarit will be in the spotlight and in the eyes of many attendees.

As part of the Virtuoso Destination Showcase, Murphy will also
host a table with eight of the agents that have brought more tourists to
Riviera Nayarit.During the dinner, all
features of this sophisticated destination will be presented with a
Huichol-style decor.

The CVB of Riviera
Nayarit CVB considers that the high-end segment is a key element to the
promotion of our destination, as it contributes to attract more tourists to the
destination, who have a higher budget and who represent a low impact approach,
generating a greater economic development for all the people of Nayarit.
